The flood that took place in the Mediterranean was what inspired the plot of the biggest XKCD ever, a time-lapse slideshow that took place over 123 days and 3,102 panels: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_(xkcd) .
Here's a site that lets you step through it one panel at a time: http://geekwagon.net/projects/xkcd1190/ . Well worth a read.

I love these too. I did a small but not horrible project a while back with permission from Dr. Lienhard.

As so often, there’s a related XKCD, but not of the usual type: Time[1]. It’s probably the most ambitious XKCD project so far, with thousands of thoroughly researched panels.[2]

http://geekwagon.net/projects/xkcd1190/ is an interactive viewer with configurable pausing on 'interesting' frames.

Much easier to use/browse version: http://geekwagon.net/projects/xkcd1190/
It's still ongoing. I bet most people (like myself) completely missed what was going on here when they first saw it.
